Our Artist of the Month at the Alford Craft Market Shop for July is Sylvia Turner - a maker of very fine shoulder bags in a good range of fabrics particularly animal fabrics. Come and see her work throughout July.
We had a great time at our Spring Bank Holiday Working Crafts Weekend - here are some pictures of what went on. Lots of quality craft stalls, workshops in felting, rag rug making, landscape painting, pottery sculpture, china painting, weaving and spinning plus raku demonstrations each afternoon.
The Alford Craft Market Shop has a large selection of handmade Lincolsnhire Crafts - all of a very high standard. Come and have a look! Open 10am - 4pm every day including Sundays through the Summer - closed Thursdays.

If you would like to become a ‘Friend of Alford Craft Market’ and spend an hour or two welcoming visitors at the gate over the bank holiday weekends or doing some 'admin' we would love to hear from you. The craft market is run entirely by a small committee of volunteers and we are finding it hard to cover all the jobs between us, so if you can lend a hand with these vital tasks please contact us: alfordcraftmarket@gmail.com
